Surrendered to Love: The Wisdom of Therese of Lisieux - Ralph Martin - St Joseph Communications (4 CD Set)
“Humble and poor, Thérèse shows the ‘little way’ of children who confide in their Father with ‘bold trust.’ The heart of her message, her spiritual attitude, is for all the faithful.” It was with these words that Pope John Paul II announced that Thérèse of Lisieux, the beloved “Little Flower” was to be made a Doctor of the Church.
Universal Teacher
In the remarkable series Surrendered to Love: The Wisdom of Thérèse of Lisieux, Ralph Martin reveals that it is neither her holiness or popularity that qualified Thérèse to be a Doctor of the Church, but the depth of her doctrine and the simple way she expressed it. As you listen, you’ll discover a saint that is also a universal teacher, whose writing makes us truly feel her presence. Like us, she had neither visions nor ecstasies, but teaches profound truths with plain speech and unforgettable stories accessible to all.
